to the mentally ill ‘kin:

cro-cute-a:

to all the otherkin struggling with mental illness/trauma/etc:

i trust you. i trust that you know yourself better than i do. you say your identity isn’t a result of whatever mental illness you have? i believe you. you say you don’t know what causes your otherkinity? that’s ok, i still believe what you tell me.

as long as you aren’t spreading misinformation, i will take your words at face value. i don’t see a reason to doubt mentally ill ‘kin since I know that they have a right to their own experiences and existences.

if you experience things that lead you to believe you are otherkin, you are otherkin.
